Rationale

Plaid enables companies to build fintech solutions by making it easy for people to connect their financial data to apps and services. While it doesn't directly offer all the features of Cash App to end-users, it facilitates the infrastructure for other companies to provide similar services, including P2P transfers. Plaid offers payment solutions and account verification APIs, which are essential for enabling instant P2P transfers.
